The MARYLAND Central railroad authorities
have not yet made q move towards giving the
patrons of the road better accommodations at
Towsontown. The present station is simply a
weather boarded pen, with two benches about
twelve feet in length of which is in the ladies'
room and the other in the mems compartment,
and do not afford half seats enough, so that pas
sengers are obliged to stand, whether they want
to or not and this is not pleasant for them when
they are heated and tired. 1t would serve the
company right if the people would adopt some
other means of travel for with the high rates now
being charged the company should certainly az
ford better accommodations
